    Flood Damage in Gilbert: Immediate Steps to Take

    The First 60 Minutes

    Panic is natural when you find your home flooded, but quick, decisive action will save your property.

    1. Stop the Water: Find the main water shut-off valve for your house and turn it off immediately.
    2. Kill the Power: If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off the power at the breaker box. Do NOT step in water to reach the breaker.
    3. Call the Professionals: Dial Tri Point Services for 24/7 emergency extraction.
    4. Move Valuables: Lift curtains off the floor. Move small furniture, rugs, and electronics to a dry area. Place aluminum foil under the legs of heavy wooden furniture to prevent wood stain from bleeding into wet carpets.
